Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A mostly clear night with variable seeing. We observed 9 blocks of mixed priority. Unfortunately, humidity forced us to close before a much awaited P0.

Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A mostly clear night with good seeing throughout. The predicted rise in humidity didn't happen after all!

We observed 7 blocks of mixed priority including a P0.

We had some trouble with HRS CDDr but managed to salvage the time and move to RSS while HRS was being fixed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A good start to the night with good seeing and clear skies, but the seeing became highly variable in the second half. We closed early due to high humidity (unpredicted), but managed to observe 5 blocks of mixed priority.
